Sustain - Your natural and organic lifestyle show

Sustain Expo

After providing a very successful and much loved kitchen garden display at the Organics Expo and Green Show in 2011, PSN has been invited to design the set for the Gardening Workshops space at Sustain in 2012.

This year we've been allocated 5x the space we had last year, so we've got a whopping 120 square meters to play with!

Costa, Indira Naidoo, our very own Selena Griffith and Monique Unger and a host of other people will be speaking in the space that we've co-desiged and will be co-assembling with Steve Bately from Sydney Organic Gardens.

We're going to have chooks in the fabulous PSN chook / glass propagation house (Bill Mollison design / Peter Wright construction); The infamous PSN balcony garden (Philip Evans / Richard Brasil construction); we've got a bee hive and some equipment kindly on loan from Doug at Urban Bee Hives; Steve from Edible Kids Gardens is constructing a mobile terraced raised bed with trellis / espalier backing, we'll have a rabbit tractor, quails, a TV aquaponics set, an area for the kids to plant some seeds in used coffee cups... it's going to be fantastic!

Plus we'll be raffling off a 3 hour tapas class and dining experience for two (valued at $280) at Mumu's Grill - Sydney's only sustainable steakhouse.

Tickets to the expo are $18 ($15 if booked online), but you can get free entry (and discounted parking) in return for volunteering at the PSN stall / display for at least a 1/2 day shift.
